Subject: good show
dunno why they call Cyclone a fakeout. they play the entire song. thats the song, guys. the part thats missing is called a "jam". If they played the first peak in Waves, and then played the ending instead of going into the jam, you wouldnt call it a tease, would you? Maybe a cocktease, but whatever.

1st set ends strong, 2nd set is completely glorious. Spaga and Abyss inversions are stunningly orgasmic. Segue into Bazaar is drawn out but not dragged out, i think they spent the perfect amount of time letting us bask in the vibe of that jam.

4 stars for a poorly executed beginning of the first set.

* Edited x amount of years later. They only play half of Cyclone. I guess that was their attempt at playing an unfinished Cyclone.

It's hilarious that people act like this was a letdown for Camp Bisco. The Spraypaint sequence alone slaughters anything from Camps 1, 3 or 4.

And man, that Dribble-> Plan B is much cooler than I remember it being.. People think that isn't a "Real Dribble" apparently, while it sucks that there wasn't an outro jam and all.. There seems to be this weird misconception about Dribble having a balls out crazy techno jam when the jam has really been this pleasant dub thing since I dunno.. 2002 or so? Per usual, Biscuits fans have this whole host of expectations which don't line up with reality.

While the poor reviews for this show are hilariously off-base, it's nice to see a "B" show actually rated like one instead of getting a bunch of 5 star reviews for no apparent reason. So thanks for the bad reviews!

2006 is an oft-maligned year.. But this is the exact moment where Allen's influence on the band forcefully dragged them out of the malaise they had been floating in since Fall 2003. This is the moment where they stopped coasting, eventually leading up to that spectacular NYE Run. As weird as it is to say, 2006 is the only year with definitive shows at both Camp and NYE.

this shows tight....abyss is ill

Subject: ONE OF THE BEST OF '06
All dribble jams should be like this one and the 2007-02-16 dribble jam. Dark and electronic raggae kinda stuff with that beautiful bass hittin the minor thirds and all. Absolute best for blazing. Five minutes in you'll be just be overwhelmed. It's completely out of this world.

7-11 is AMAZING. > Svengali is great.
"Glorious" spraypaint!
The transition from Great Abyss > Spraypaint here is real nice.

Certainly an above average show.
Humu is not even close to being the highlight!!! Unless jungle jams are your thing.

OK, this was not a bad show, I'm not a noob and I think my opinion is pretty vaild on this.

Highlights:

7-11 > Svenghali > Rock Candy is all really tight, the 7-11 especially. Good segues throughout.

The entire second set is a hightlight. The Spraypaint was the best version of the song they had played to date (there have been really good versions since camp, but this was the first time they really jammed it out) and the segue into an INVERTED SPAGA was completely smooth, with a patient jam leading into the second peak of spaga. The inverted Spaga is no slouch either, plus its the first time Spaga has ever been inverted.

The next part of this sequence (Humu>inv Abyss>Spraypaint) is more good stuff. The humu is well played, with a patient jam into the first inverted abyss they've played. The abyss is maddness, really good stuff throughout. The Spraypaint ending is fantastic, a friend descirbed it as "victorious" and I agree with that.

The Rest of the Show:
If you like a dub dribble, this version isn't perfect but its a great attempt at a different version of the song. The encore was super mellow, but the magellan reprise was well performed.

oh and Abelito is a COMPLETE idiot

Subject: 2 GREAT SEGMENTS...
ME AND MY GIRL TRAVELLED FROM QUEBEC TO SEE OUR FAVORITE BAND AND WERE SOMEWHAT DISSAPOINTED AT THE END OF THIS SHOW. I AM NOT A BIG FAN OF THE SONG SPAGA (EXCEPT THE OLD ONES) AND I FOUND THE DUB DRIBBLE VERY SLOPPY. THE HIGHLIGHTS FOR ME WERE THE END OF THE FIRST SET (7-11->SVEN->ROCK)
AND THE HUMU ->GREAT ABYSS->SPRAYPAINT IN THE SECOND SET. THOSE SEGMENTS WERE GREAT BUT NOT ENOUGH IN MY OPINION TO SAVE THIS OVERALL POOR PERFORMANCE. THE SECOND NIGHT WAS A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT OVER THIS FIRST NIGHT AT CAMP BISCO.

Subject: set 2
set 1 was pretty decent i like the dub dribble i think its pretty sick. plan b was alright but set 2 is what did it for me. the spraypaint into inv. spaga was insane along with the abyss back into spraypaint was dirty as fuck. the 7-11 was decent along with one of the best rock candys iv ever witnessed. and to end the night a king of the world and magellan reprise was nasty. overall a great night.

Subject: first night of camp v
marc is on fire; straight up butter on the bass! my sub loves every second of biscrack. and magner, he's on point with the keys.

and they've really matured with thie sound too; allen is spot on with the boys. not bad, with all things considered (and the new biscuits sounds waaay better than the Triscuit stuff too).

i dont think i miss sammy as much now...

Reviewer: Aprxia - - September 18, 2006
Subject: Truely amazing.
If you like bisco, I don't see how you can't love this show. Yes, the opener was a bit longwinded, but... PLAN B is tight. I get the feeling Allen loves that song.
I was in front for both sets (not bragging), and it seemed like all of them were having a crap load of fun.

(the mike myers setbreak was amazing too... anyone know where i can find that?)

Subject: I love Camp
I loved this night of camp!! The tapes definatly don't capture how great the show was but with a little imagination you can get right back to bisco land. Make sure you play it loud. Dub dribble is great and every tranisiton the entire show was great. Allen kicks ass on 7-11!!!

Reviewer: NoLeftTurnUnstoned07 - - September 17, 2006
Subject: Great Night
I was at the show and sadly only caught the first set. the dribble was a tad on the sloppy side at times but other than that it was an excellent set. The 7-11 blew my mind at the show and and blows my mind as i listen to it now. Can't wait for next years camp.



"BeYAHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
-great times with benevento russo duo

Reviewer: tragnast - - September 17, 2006
Subject: Had to be there
I guess the tapes don't hold up well. I am sure it was a blast though. It just isn't my taste in bisco, with no really captivating jams. On an individual critique level I don't think they each brought their 'A' game. I mean for a camp set they should really bring on some special techniques or sounds or something. I like their darker stuff, and think that they should hone in on that more. Decent moments though at times.

Subject: 2nd night was better.
Cyclone fakeout was very mean and subsequently the dub dribble was awkward. Plan b was not where it should have beena and >dribble just reminded the audience that we weren't going to get a real dribble after traveling for 24 hours and standing in the rain. the download looks like it's missing the 7-11, but the end of this song is where things started to pick up, imo. >svenghali was beautiful and rock candy is always fun.

2nd set was better. Spraypaint was such a treat and >Spaga might have been the largest peak of camp. I loove spaga so I might be biased. >bazaar escape, again a treat, this song has been at the top of my want-to-see list for a long time so I loved it. I hate humu. . . and the show just sort of fizzled-out (sp?) from then on until ending abrubtly as I remember with spraypaint. King of the world was a good encore and then magellan reprise was reeaally nice to hear.

2 star show with a 4 star setlist = 3 stars
